    Curry is unbelievably overrated. 1 dimensional chucker. Don't let the assist numbers fool you.

    Why? Does his assists not lead to points making them fraudulent?

    Sounds like Harden for me.

    A lot of his "assists" are not assists. Gets benefit of the doubt A LOT. GS score keepers notorious for padding home team stats.

    Does Harden chuck some bad shots? Sure. But he also gets to the foul line more than anyone in the game except KD by relentlessy attacking basket. Because of this, he rarely takes shots with a hand in his face because of the space defenders give him and his sweet step back. Also, as bad as he can be on D, curry is actually worse. Besides, my statement had nothing to do with Harden. Don't get me wrong, Harden hero ball makes me rip my hair out but he is easily the better player.

    To think the Warriors could of had both Harden and Curry for at least a season is quite scary. Might be one of the worst defensive back courts but they would be fun to watch on offense!

    Chucker? Really, you believe that.

    r e a l l y

    The dude is the best pure shooter in the NBA, and may go down as the best ever, and you call him a chucker. The dude is lifetime 44% three pt shooter. Are you calling him a "chucker" based on the distance of his shots?\\

    9.6 assists per game. I'm not fooled that he's a legendary passer, but 9.6 is not chucker numbers no matter how you slice it.

    I guess if you were his coach, you'd turn him into a Battier catch and shoot 3rd option??? And then he'd be nailing 50% of his 3s. and people would say you are underutilizing him.
